Question

If 6 times a certain number is added to 8, the result is 32.

Which of the following equations could be used to solve the problem?

6x = 32
6(x + 8) = 32
6x = 8 + 32
6x + 8 = 32

Answer 1

Hey there !

Solution:

Let the number be 'x'

So 6 times a certain number is added to 8 which gives the answer 32.

=> 6 ( x ) + 8 = 32

=> 6x + 8 = 32

Hence this is the equational form.

On further solving we get,

=> 6x = 32 - 8

=> 6x = 24

=> x = 24 / 6

=> x = 4

Hence the value of the unknown number is 4.

Hope my answer helped !
